well I think I want to switch things around so v and t are separated 1/v dv = 1/2t dt integrating both sides ln(v) = 1/2 ln(t)+C e^x both sides: v = k*sqrt(t) Which looks right! Is that how I was meant to do it? If so, thanks - I got stalled before when I got the ln() on both sides.

How do you find a solution for: 2tv' - v = 0 The text says it's separable but I'm not seeing it. I'm just learning so extra details are appreciated. Thanks. (this should have been posted in the homework section - but I can't seem to move it there, sorry)

I'm just learning linear algebra, where we are taking a set of basis vectors and then using gram schmidt to convert them to an orthonormal basis. So I know I can do it. I know orthonormal is great. But as I'm modifying the basis anyway from the original, why don't I just forget the original...

Completing the square worked perfectly. Thank you.

I'm trying to understand this expression: y=x^2+y^2 Using wolfram alpha it tells me this is a circle of radius 1/2 But to me I'm unfamiliar with this way of setting up a circle. Specifically the y on both sides of the equation is troubling me. How would you interpret it? Would you...

Thank you Hurkyl, Landau, mathman and Tiny Tim for the replies and especially the suggestions. It's interesting to know that I could express the chain rule the way I did, but that there are other, more normal ways to do it.

Hi there, I'm a new user to the forums (and Calculus) and I 'm hoping you can give me your opinion on my chain rule form below. When learning the chain rule, I was taught two forms. This form: \frac{d}{dx}f(g(x))=f'(g(x))g'(x) As well as the Leibniz form...
